Adding an audio in jack to load tape images from an external source (like an mp3 player) on my CPC464. // PCBWay Big Xmas Sale Nov. & Dec. Shopping Festival! https://www.pcbway.com/activity/christmas2019.html (Sponsor)

I'm showing two methods of connecting the audio input, the first one worked better for me. On some machines, the second method (connecting to the r/w head) reportedly works better.

Here's the CPCwiki walkthrough of the process: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/DIY_464_External_Audio_Socket

The great tapDancer Android app is available here: https://apkpure.com/de/tapdancer-virtual-datasette/co.kica.tapdancer

CDT2WAV which I ended up using is available here: http://cpc-live.com/data/index.php?dir=-tools

Magica, the game by Juan J. Martinez I briefly play at the end of the video (and a lot of other great games for various platforms) is available from Juan's website here: https://www.usebox.net/jjm/

Other CDT tape files are available from various sites you are going to have to find yourself. (I don't want to accidentally link pirated software.)
